My muscles tense coiled like a snake
I know that I will do whatever it takes
I bring a sword up and sit in wait
there's no way I'm taking their bait
Metal hitting metal rings out tonight
my blood flows I crave a fight
my movements are fluid like a dance
thoughts drift away I'm in a trance
Pain flairs up as a sword hits my arm
blood pours out much to my alarm
it is deep, as a sea of angry red flows
vision blurs and everything slows
I get up as my whole body aches
but no matter what I'll do whatever it takes
because I know I am honor bound
to make sure my brothers are safe and sound
